I was told to buy nylon strings for a classic guitar would this be the right thing?

These are my favorite classical strings. They are the ones you want for your guitar. The price is great and I have never had a problem with them. I used to have my instructor put them on but after finding a tut on the internet I tried myself. Easy!

Absolutely. You only want to put nylon strings on a classical. This set is excellent, by the way. They will be a little harder to install, but I think there are instructions in this set, or just look around the internet for instructions to show you how. They don't have a little "ball" on the end like regular guitar strings. You have to do a special "knot" on the bridge of the guitar. Don't worry, its "knot" as complicated as it sounds :) Happy playing!

Yes -- all new guitars come with strings. They might not be the best strings, but if you need to ask the question (no disrespect intended), they will probably be just fine until you reach the point where you're ready to look for something special. Note, however, that it does not come with other accessories, except for a neck adjustment wrench, which I would urge you NOT to use yourself. You will probably want to buy a case or at least a padded gig bag.

Yes it is. I found the strings were nice and low and easier to hit the chords than on my acoustic or classical. If you can get to a music store, most stock them and you can actually try it first. Do a search on guitar center and find the closest one near you. Then go see how it feels.

We have steel strings. The strings that come with the guitar are fine. My in-laws (the martin family band) were in the house the other day and upgraded the strings which definitely improved the tone (richer) and reduced the necessary finger pressure on the frets.This guitar is primarily used by my 15 year old daughter who has small hands.

I do not play, I got this as a gift for my nephew and I did buy him new strings, but I am not certain what kind they were, I will contact him and find out. It sounds great.

Yes. That is the perfect age for this guitar. You might want to use some nylon strings, but at some point you need to toughen up the fingers no matter the age. I think this is a great guitar that has good sound and will last until they are ready to buy their own pro guitar. I was suprised at the quality package.

I believe the strings that come with the guitar are composite core with brass wrapping. I suggest buying new strings, as a few of mine had some damage, and were already stretched from being on the guitar, out of tune.

I would not buy expensive strings for a cheap guitar. Buying expensive strings will not change the sound that much

Yes, but you should use lighter gauge acoustic strings, and you'll have to cut more end off after you wind them since this guitar has only 15 frets (fewer than full-sized guitars). The Martin strings that came on mine were very good, so you probably won't have to do this for a while - and if you don't want to do it yourself, places like Guitar Center will do it for something like $10 or $15 (plus the cost of the strings). (15 frets are more than enough, by the way, 99% of the time for the songs you're likely to want to play on it.)

Not sure exactly what you mean by "regular strings" . . . Martin recommends Extra Light strings only, that is obviously because of the construction of the guitar.

guitars are classical - folk - electric ... classical is the base to start and perfect to practice because strings are made in nylon, so you won't hurt your fingers too much. folk guitars (someone wrongly call them just acoustic..) are little bit harder as built and use metal strings for better sound. it is not recommend to start with that because u will hurt yr fingers easily at the beginning.. so i suggest u this yamaha c40 guitar. it is perfect and no needs to change original strings.. they are perfect for beginner intermediate and after a year or two, maybe u will understand if guitars is yr life-hobby-no more... good value for this money. have fun! guitars are classical - folk - electric ... classical is the base to start and perfect to practice because strings are made in nylon, so you won't hurt your fingers too much. folk guitars (someone wrongly call them just acoustic..) are little bit harder as built and use metal strings for better sound. it is not recommend to start with that because u will hurt yr fingers easily at the beginning.. so i suggest u this yamaha c40 guitar. it is perfect and no needs to change original strings.. they are perfect for beginner intermediate and after a year or two, maybe u will understand if guitars... » Read More guitars are classical - folk - electric ... classical is the base to start and perfect to practice because strings are made in nylon, so you won't hurt your fingers too much. folk guitars (someone wrongly call them just acoustic..) are little bit harder as built and use metal strings for better sound. it is not recommend to start with that because u will hurt yr fingers easily at the beginning.. so i suggest u this yamaha c40 guitar. it is perfect and no needs to change original strings.. they are perfect for beginner intermediate and after a year or two, maybe u will understand if guitars is yr life-hobby-no more... good value for this money. have fun! « Show Less

Regular so it fits on almost all acoustics and electrics. It might fit some smaller neck classical and 12 string guitars but I wouldn't risk it. Just get the other versions if you need.

I've used it on my Yamaha classical guitar, and it works pretty well. I believe it works better on your standard, steel string acoustic guitars; but, yes it works with nylon strings. Hope that helps. R. Logan satisfied customer

This is a classical guitar so yes it has nylon strings. There is no maintenance manual with order. You can replace these strings with any other nylon strings you like. You should not replace with steel strings. This guitar needs an amplifier for the sound. There is no sound hole and must be amplified. Hope this helps with your decision.

I really don't know, I changed the strings as soon as I got the guitar, suggest you do same, choosing some strings and brands you favor

For a steel guitar player, the High Tension classical strings would probably feel closer to what you are used to as high tension strings are pulled tighter to tune than medium and soft. The tension just describes how tight the strings are in relation to the tuned note. On high tension strings, your strings would feel tighter on any given note than medium or soft. But as you know, you can get various tensions on steel strings as well. If you are new to the classical guitar, you are going to have to drop the pick and just use your finger tips, but you will get used to this and will enjoy the more intimate relationship with your strings and the sounds they produce. Good luck! As to brand, D'Addarrio is as good as most and better than some. Just go with any major brand on sale until you develop a personal preference based on your own experience. When you change strings on a classical, get ready for a lot of retuning until the strings "set." It takes a few days of playing before your new strings stretch out, and even then, you must retune often. If you don't have your guitar yet, for a previous steel string, or electric guitar player, I would recommend an accoustic-electric classical guitar with a cut-away style. Best Regards, Johanan If you are going over to nylon (classical) guitar, however, I would recommend just using the "regular" or "medium" strings as they are the standard and are easy to get anywhere

I installed My on a Gibson Les Paul and it is the very same as the standard bridge. I use .09 to .46 Ernie Ball Cobalt strings and they work just fine. You will have to make the post a little larger than the stock but that's eazy enough to do. That's about all, I've had NO Problems at all. Hope this helps.
